Cupid’s Advice:
New parenthood is filled with as many challenges as it is joys. Making time for your partner when this new life has became your world can feel impossible. Here are relationship tips for parents looking to bond outside of their baby:
1. Make time for one another: With your new baby becoming the center of your world, it’s difficult to make time for each other. However, having one-on-one time is essential to a sturdy relationship and ultimately the growth of your baby. Go on a date together or just sit and talk after the baby’s gone to bed.

2. Enlist a trusted relative or friend: Give yourself a break and recruit a member of your inner circle to watch your children so you parents can have alone time. Make sure you have faith in their child care abilities and your child is familiar with the care taker so that you don’t spend your date worried out of your mind.

3. Cut each other some slack: Being a parent isn’t easy. When your partner makes a mistake, don’t go after them. Instead understand where they’re coming from and that we’re all human. As long as your baby’s safe, chances are they won’t remember the tiny screw up.
